The next morning, she was informed that the police were called with reports of a woman jumping on her vehicle and carving into the car all night with a pipe, windshield wiper and a piece of wood.

The woman can be seen in surveillance video attacking the car beginning around 3 a.m., continuing until well into the morning.

"It's totaled," Omelianoff told KTLA.

The woman also flattened the car's tires and pulled the grill out of the vehicle, Omelianoff said.

"I paid $511 to fix my engine on the 15th and I was able to get around to come celebrate Thanksgiving ... and this is what I get. Thank God for everything I had and this is what I got the next day. This is what I get for thanking God for everything I had," Omelianoff told KTLA before breaking down in tears.

Omelianoff said she lost her job Nov. 5 and does not have insurance to cover the damage to the vehicle, nor can she afford to have it towed away.

A relative set up a GoFundMe page to help her. As of Tuesday evening, people had donated nearly $10,000.

The attacker was placed on a psychiatric hold but had not been arrested, Sgt. Gamble of the Los Angeles Police Department's Rampart Division told KTLA on Sunday.
